In this latest Tough Love & Second Chances podcast, we talk with the volunteer President of EDGA Tony Bennett about exciting progress for ‘G4D’ (golf for the disabled) and his personal story that is steeped in the game.
EDGA seeks to help any new golfer with a disability to ‘sample’ (try), ‘participate’ (play on a course) and/or ‘compete’ (take your new skill as far as you can in tournaments).
Because of Tony’s rich background in the game (he has been a professional player, a PGA coach and development specialist before volunteering for EDGA), he is as well-placed as anyone to give good answers on the ‘why’ and ‘how’ the game can enhance key aspects of our lives.
“For the individual with a disability, golf can be a fantastic game,” says Tony. “Many of our players who have a serious impairment or medical condition will tell you that golf has made a significant impact in their lives: the exercise, the confidence of learning a new skill, perhaps feeling stronger and making new friends.”
Find out more about Tony’s love of learning and different ways of thinking in our latest EDGA podcast.
